Chinese Furniture is a survey of these collectibles—from the very best hardwood pieces featured to standard softwood specimens still available on the Asian market. The book presents an overview of carving styles, wood types, regional variations, class distinctions and restoration techniques. With this renewed interest in antique furniture, a forgery market has emerged. Thousands of factories in southern China are churning out brand new or refurbished furniture and passing them off as antiques. Chinese Furniture unearths these forgeries and serves as an indispensable reference guide to collectors. 作者简介 Karen Mazurkewich is an Asian Wall Street Journal reporter who has covered Asian culture and the retail scene for three years from her base in Hong Kong. Mazurkewich has investigated art forgery, interviewed countless collectors, grilled innovative businessmen and queried tradesmen—all in a quest to better understand antiques and manufacturing in Asia. 目录Chinese Furniture:A Renaissance Evolving Styles Classifying Chinese Furniture Style Wood Types of Wood Rarity and Age Carving, Workmanship and Symbolism Decoration in Chinese Furniture Joints Chairs Yoke-back Armchairs Southern Official's Hat Armchairs Lamphanger Chairs Rose Chairs Horseshoe-back Armchairs Folding Armchairs Qing-style Armchairs Western-influenced Chairs Stools and Benches Tables and Desks Recessed-leg PaintingTables Side or WineTables Flush-sided Corner LegTables Waisted Corner LegTables AltarTables Square Tables Kang Tables High TeaTables and Stands Pedestal Tables Coffer Tables Round Tables Qin Tables Gaming Tables Desks Beds Day Beds Couch Beds Canopy and Alcove Beds Cabinets and Bookshelves Square-corner Cabinets Compound Cabinets Sloping-stile Cabinets Bookshelves Display Cabinets Lacquer Furniture Doors and Screens Household Accessories Candlestick Stands and Lanterns Braziers Shrines Garment Racks and Washstands Mirror Stands Clothing Chests Tiered Boxes and Tea Containers Document Boxes StationeryTrays and Gaming Boards Brush Pots and Scroll Pots Display Stands Toggles and Figurines Miscellaneous Items Classical Versus Vernacular Regional Differences Suzhou Style or Jiangsu Style Canton Style Zhejiang Style Shanghai Art Deco Northern Styles Shanxi Style Fujian Style To Strip or Not to Strip May the Buyer Beware!
